Sky Soaring was putting on an act.
What a joke. With his tens of thousands of years of experience and scheming, how could he possibly wear his joys and anger on his face? If he truly wanted to turn hostile, he would have torn out hearts and guts with Lu Yang long ago.
His deliberate angry curses were merely a statement of position.
Even the surging Divine Sense and his attempt to reclaim control of the Retribution Dharma Outer Body were intentional, meant to lower Mu Changsheng's guard.
The reason was simple.

Because Mu Changsheng also wants to sell us the information on the Heavenly Remnant Consciousness in his hands. He has to guard against Old Dragon Lord turning hostile toward him as well!
He has thought it through clearly. He knows we will definitely come looking for him, so he drew Old Dragon Lord in. His original intention was to have Old Dragon Lord and us keep each other in check. If we cannot enter the Nourishing Life Lord, and Old Dragon Lord is the only one who can accompany him, then he will be the one with a headache when the time comes.
At that thought, Sky Soaring glanced at Lu Yang again.
This beast has probably seen through that too, hasn't he?
So he is doing the opposite—pinning Mu Changsheng in place, then taking the chance to demand an extra benefit for himself. What deep calculations!
For a moment, even Sky Soaring could not help but marvel.
If Mu Changsheng was on the first layer, then Lu Yang was on the third.
But... I am on the fifth.
Sky Soaring sneered inwardly. The anger he had deliberately displayed just now was not only meant to deceive Mu Changsheng, but Lu Yang
